I am proud that our Labour Budget tackles the cost of living, lifts thousands of children out of poverty, helps small businesses and continues to strengthen our public services especially the NHS.

Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, by this summer, households will be paying around £700 more than promised. If the UK government will not cut energy bills, they should get out of the way and put the powers in the hands of a Scottish Government that will. On May 7th, vote both votes SNP for a government on Scotland’s side.

This week, as a Labour Government, we took action in the Budget to lift children out of poverty - that will help 1620 kids living here in East Lothian.

Gent in blue, "There are things about the budget we can moan about" #BBCQT "There are things about the budget we can celebrate" "Children being lifted out of poverty" "I think it was a good thing they put an extra tax on those with properties over £2m" "I support the Labour gov trying to make sure the wealthiest in this country pay their fair share"

Labour's Budget is for every street in Britain. 👉 Cutting energy bills 👉 Lifting children out of poverty 👉 Rebuilding public services While our opponents hide behind cheap, divisive politics, we're getting on with the job: changing Britain.

7,250 children in Brent East lifted out of poverty because The Labour Party has lifted the two-child benefit cap. That is a huge difference for families in our community and ending child poverty benefits all of us. I’m so proud we’ve taken this step.

I’m so proud that our Labour Government are removing the two child benefit cap from April - announced in today’s Budget. This will lift over a massive 450,000 children out of poverty across the country. This is the difference a Labour Government makes.

If Plaid Cymru refuse to back a Welsh Labour Budget which provides billions of new investment in schools, hospitals and public services, the people of Wales will see right through them.

Labour just voted to shut down our North Sea oil & gas industry costing thousands of jobs. This cannot go on. The Conservatives have a plan to cut bills, support industry, protect jobs, and make Britain energy secure. Our Get Britain Drilling bill would deliver exactly that.

💬 Shona Robison MSP: "I came into politics to tackle child poverty" While Labour sit on their hands, The SNP will rid Scotland of one of the worst policies to be imposed on us by Westminster. Surely Labour can't vote against The SNP's budget that will lift children out of poverty?

Reducing child poverty is in the DNA of the Labour Party. I was one of the children pulled out of poverty because of the actions taken by the last Labour govt. It's what we do, and what we've done in the Budget.

High energy bills have left many households struggling to make ends meet. The Budget announced an average of £150 off the costs of energy bills to ease the pressure for consumers and our Warm Homes Plan will go further. Real action to help bring down bills for good.

🔥 Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300 – but they increased in October and will rise again. ❄️ Combined with their Winter Fuel Payment cut, Labour are pushing pensioners into poverty. 🥀 The UK government must reverse these decisions as a matter of urgency.

Labour's priority is to tackle the cost of living. That’s why we're making energy bills cheaper, cutting them by £150 on average from April. That’s the difference a Labour government makes.
